Law enforcement officials are closely monitoring a small group of Proud Boys who are currently demonstrating and marching through downtown Washington, DC. The group's march coincides with President Donald Trump's inauguration.

Of particular concern to law enforcement is the group's proximity to a crowd of anti-Trump protesters who are expected to march to Black Lives Matter Plaza later today. There are fears that if the two groups intersect, it could lead to violent clashes, according to a law enforcement source.

Reports indicate that the Proud Boys, a relatively small group, are being closely followed by members of the media as they make their way through the streets of DC. The situation remains tense as law enforcement officials work to ensure the safety and security of all individuals involved.
